美国司法部周二公开了对墨西哥最强大贩毒集团之一成员的起诉书，该集团四名成员被控试图在捷克共和国购买武器弹药以换取毒品。
司法部官员表示，这四名涉嫌哈利斯科州新一代贩毒集团（西班牙缩写为CJNG）的成员于6月在捷克共和国被捕。
官员们称，其中两名被告——44岁的埃德加·亚历杭德罗·洛佩斯·贝拉斯科和23岁的何塞·米格尔·阿尔瓦拉多·莫拉莱斯——已被引渡至美国，并于周一在佛罗里达州坦帕市出庭受审。
官员们表示，另外两名被告——33岁的诺埃·迪亚斯·希门尼斯和63岁的莱奥巴尔多·加西亚奥拉·洛佩斯（又名“巴多”）的引渡程序仍在进行中。
这四名涉嫌CJNG的成员被控毒品进口共谋、武器走私及其他罪名，最高可判处终身监禁。
司法部在一份声明中表示，洛佩斯·贝拉斯科和迪亚斯·希门尼斯在捷克共和国洽谈武器采购，“用于在墨西哥实施针对敌对贩毒集团、平民、警察部队和军事人员的暴力行为”。
声明称：“这些武器包括各类欧洲机枪、火箭筒、迫击炮发射器，以及配套弹药和军械”。
“作为武器交换，被告通过向美国进口并分销的芬太尼和甲基苯丙胺进行支付”。
美国于上周宣布对CJNG多名高级成员提起诉讼，并将抓捕该集团头目悬赏金额提高至逾1亿美元，其中2500万美元悬赏用于征集能协助抓捕该集团据称头目胡安·卡洛斯·冈萨雷斯（又名“佩隆”）的线索。根据国务院消息，冈萨雷斯于1984年9月12日出生在加利福尼亚州圣安娜市。
国务院表示，此次起诉和悬赏旨在“削弱该组织的领导层”，而与此同时特朗普总统加大了对墨西哥和其他拉美国家的施压力度，以推行其安全议程。
CJNG是被列为外国恐怖组织的八个墨西哥贩毒集团之一。今年2月，该集团头目内梅西奥·鲁文·奥塞格拉·塞万提斯（又名“门乔”）被墨西哥军方击毙，该集团遭遇重创。美国为此次行动提供了情报，随后哈利斯科州爆发了暴力冲突。
上月，特朗普政府对与该贩毒集团有关联的50个人和实体实施了制裁，其中包括冈萨雷斯。制裁措施冻结了相关人员的资产，并禁止他们与美国进行金融交易。
今年6月，美国财政部宣布针对该贩毒集团发布新的银行预警。
Powerful cartel in Mexico sought to buy weapons overseas in exchange for fentanyl and meth, U.S. says

The U.S. Justice Department unsealed indictments on Tuesday against four members of one of Mexico’s most powerful drug cartels accused of seeking to purchase arms and ammunition in exchange for drugs in the Czech Republic.
The four alleged members of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, known by its Spanish acronym CJNG, were arrested in the Czech Republic in June, Justice Department officials said.
Two of the defendants — Edgar Alejandro Lopez Velasco, 44, and Jose Miguel Alvarado Morales, 23 — have been extradited to the United States and made a court appearance in Tampa, Florida, on Monday, they said.
Extradition is pending for the other two accused — Noe Diaz Jimenez, 33, and Leobardo Gaxiola Lopez, 63, also known as “Bado,” the officials said.
The four alleged CJNG members are charged with drug importation conspiracy, firearms trafficking and other offenses which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Lopez Velasco and Diaz Jimenez negotiated the sale of weapons in the Czech Republic “to commit acts of violence against rival cartels, civilians, police forces, and military personnel in Mexico,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
“These weapons included different kinds of European machineguns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, mortar launchers, and accompanying ammunition and ordnance,” it said.
“In exchange for the weapons, the defendants paid in the form of fentanyl and methamphetamine imported into the United States for distribution,” it said.
The United States last week announced charges against several high-ranking members of CJNG and increased reward money for the capture of its leaders to more than $100 million, including $25 million for information leading to the capture of the cartel’s alleged leader, Juan Carlos Gonzalez, or “Pelón.” According to the State Department, Gonzalez was born in Santa Ana, California, on Sept. 12, 1984.
The State Department said the charges and reward money were aimed at “crippling the organization’s leadership” while President Trump has ramped up pressure on Mexico and other Latin American nations to carry out his security agenda.
CJNG is among eight Mexican cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The group was dealt a blow in February when leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, or “El Mencho,” was killed by the Mexican military. The U.S. provided intelligence for the operation, which resulted in a burst in violence in the state of Jalisco.
Last month, the Trump administration slapped sanctions on 50 people and companies linked with the cartel, including González. The sanctions froze assets and blocked U.S. financial transactions with those cited.
In June, the U.S. Treasury announced a new bank alert targeting the cartel.
